can Anyone tell me where I can purchase a new radiator for my 1940 110 car. Also do I need to take the nose off the car to remove the radiator. Thanks for the help. Vin

When a radiator can no longer be restored to adequate effectiveness by cleaning, the normal course is to have it "re-cored"; that is, installing a new core between your existing upper and lower tanks and this is pretty much a routine operation for older cars that any good radiator shop should be able to do. You'll almost certainly not be able to find a "new" radiator and even if you did, chances are that 70+ years of storage has rendered it unusable.

No, you don't have to remove the front clip to remove and reinstall a radiator.

Brassworks in Paso Robles, CA can get you the more original type core, but it will hurt quite a bit. Especially on a 110 it would probably be best to go to a more modern core.

I couldn't help myself and went with the more original.

I had the non-repairable radiator in my 47 Custom recored. I went with a modern 4-row staggered tube design. The job was done by a local radiator and exhaust system shop. Expensive.

In 1940 Packard was using both cellular and tubed radiators so take your pick.

I had my 36 120 radiator recored locally and it was not that expensive. IIRC $400 range.
